It's been a fantastic 12 months and I want to thank all of you for helping to make this this best year ever for the new www.barbecuebible.com. We've got huge plans for 2014.

So one resolution for the coming year in barbecue: resolve to try a dish you’ve never grilled before. Rabbit? Sweetbreads? A whole hog or whole fish fish? Dessert on the grill or smoker? Promise to grill something new this year—you might just find a new specialty.

More grilling in generalI'm going to try rabbit on the grill again, andSquirrel, of all the crazy things

The last two are because I just got back into shooting and passed my firearms test with a 97% score. Since I bag a few squirrels a month I figured I ought to see how they taste. The Duck Dynasty guys seem to love squirrels even though once they're skinned they look like something out of Guillermo Del Toro's nightmares.

As for rabbit, I get them on my lawn all the time so I figured I ought to give the local owls and hawks some competition. And since the guy down the road sells his farm-raised bunnies for almost triple the price of a chicken (bloody rip-off artist!) I'll just shoot them myself.

Unlike propane, you'll never wake up scorched and naked in another county because you mishandled a bag of briquettes.
